A review by molldollriv
Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw

4.0

I found this play to be quite entertaining. I've been meaning to read it ever since I saw "My Fair Lady" and I was quite surprised how much the musical stays true to the original play. However, I will say that I prefer the play's ending over the musical's. I enjoyed the commentary on the superficiality of class and the divide it puts between people. It was very funny as well and I would love to see it performed live.

I recently listened to a production of the play put out by L.A. Theatre Works and I would have to say it is definitely better than just reading it as it was written to be performed. You get a much better understanding of Eliza Doolittle's transformation when you can hear it.
